Happy 2011!

Please forgive me for not posting in a very long time! Writing in my blog is a HUGE challenge for me, and a resolution I need to work hard on in this new year. Now that the New Year is here, I thought I'd blog on a few of my favorite details that I've encountered during my planning experiences in 2010.

Check out these chocolate dipped strawberries with little flags reading, "Life's unpredictable, eat dessert first!"

The adorably, whimsical cake topper (sorry for the tiny picture) was custom made by Nicole Clark. She will customize your miniature you by your wedding attire, hair color and style, skin tone and flowers.

Another one of my favorite things is having a very creative hubby (Gerry Pasqualetti) who comes up with some amazing custom made stationery for my clients including escort/place cards, menu cards, table numbers, seating charts, programs and other requested items . The menu card and strawberry flags above are a couple of his creations in which he created a variation of the emblem that was on their invitation. The program below carries their style on.


What a great idea as a guest book! I loved this when my clients first told me they were using an antique typewriter as their guest book.

I love these directional signs that were made for the guests to know what was where! Casey Brooks was able to capture a butterfly perched on one of the signs!

I love how this bride added these embellishments to her waist line, showing lots of textures and subtle variations of natural hues.


Happy New Year everyone! Make it a great year!

Couples still seem very confused between these two roles and end up not hiring a wedding coordinator after speaking with their venue. Their day ends up in disappointment because they assumed they would have that one, key person to go to and rely on for their entire wedding day. Instead, they have to wait until they walk through their venue doors to receive some coordination by their venue coordinator or banquet captain, who's primary responsibility is to the get the meal out on time and at an ideal temperature.

Ask if they will be w...
